Recorded with a portable tape player on a borrowed guitar in the kitchen of his London flat, the impact of

Bert Jansch's debut has been somewhat blunted by time, but it was a vastly influential work. His masterful

acoustic picking, which blended elements of traditional British folk, blues, and jazz, inspired not just

other folk players, but rockers who frequently used acoustic guitars. Specifically, Jimmy Page and Neil

Young have gone on record as noting their heavy debts to Jansch's early material. He was also a talented

songwriter, and all but one of the 15 tracks on his debut was an original composition (the set closes with

his version of the instrumental "Angi," originally performed by fellow British folk guitarist Davy Graham,

and popularized by Paul Simon). The artist sounds quite close to early Donovan with his Scottish

inflections, though he is darker and less pop-oriented; indeed, Donovan recorded a couple of early Jansch

tunes, and wrote a couple of songs directly inspired by the artist ("Bert's Blues" and "House of Jansch").

Jansch reflects a rambling, beatnik sort of lifestyle with his compositions on this album, which includes

one of his most famous tunes, the somber "Needle of Death" (about the heroin-induced death of one of his

friends).
